On the 10th of Muharram, Karbala didn’t just see a battle – it saw the birth of a revolution that would outlive empires.
The scorching sand. The thirsty children. The 72 standing against thousands. These images should shatter every Muslim’s heart.
But today? We’ve turned this day, the 10th Muharram into a topic of arguments—not actions. A day about the RITUALS DEBATES. “Who prays right?” “Whose mourning is ‘bid’ah’?” “Which sect is to blamed for Hussain (R.A)’s martyrdom?” We are obsessed over labels while the world watches us drown in division.
We ALL cry for Hussain (R.A) but ignore his REAL MESSAGE. We curse Yazid but copy his tactics—dividing Muslims into “right” and “wrong,” “pure” and “heretic.” Meanwhile, the real oppressors laugh as we tear each other apart.
Just imagine the Karbala ground and ask yourself:
Did Hussain (R.A) asked about sects before letting his followers drink from the river of sacrifice? Did Zainab (R.A) check labels before (R.A) speaking truth to power?
Did the Euphrates River ask if Abbas was Sunni or Shia before denying him water?
Did Hur (R.A) repentance matter less because of which school of thought he followed?
Did the arrows that pierced Ali Asghar (R.A) tiny body check his sect first?
Think. Think harder.
If Hussain Karbala 72 were alive today, would they be fighting each other over labels or fighting oppression together?
What we forgot today is Karbala wasn’t about Sunni vs Shia – it was about truth vs lies. It was about courage over cowardness. It was about the fact that despite being outnumbered, faith never fails. Even the creator promises through the sayings of our beloved Prophet (P.B.U.H) “Allah does not look at your numbers or wealth—He looks at your hearts and deeds.” (Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2564)
Today’s Yazids do not fight with us directly, they divide us with labels—Sunni, Shia, Salafi, Deobandi, Barelvi, Ahle Hadith, Sufi, Wahabi, Ismaili, Bohri and what not. They turn our faith into factions, our unity into a debate, and our strength into weakness.
We argue over who follows the ‘right Islam’ while the enemies of Islam laugh. We police each other’s prayers, rituals, and mourning—while the real oppressors rob our lands, bomb our children, and erase our history.
The real betrayal we are doing today with the Islamic Hero and his honourable martyrs isn’t in how we mourn their courageous death – it’s in how we’ve forgotten why they died.
So, my Ummah, let us wake up—united!
Stop the racism, the fights over rituals and rise for the right cause. Remember the Message of is Karbala battlefield isn’t in history books – it’s wherever injustice stands today.
The revolution doesn’t live in our tears – it lives in our courage to stand against oppression, together.
